Add You - The Cranelegs Five Second / One Year Plan to Lasting Relationships
How many bills and debts do you have to repay each month? On average, an adult in a developed country has easily more than 5 bills/debts to pay consistently in their lifetime. Many have far more than that especially for those with multiple credit cards. It would be great to be able to make a single payment regularly as opposed to making countless of payments. This is where debt consolidation comes into the picture. Seeing this as a growing demand, more debt consolidation companies are establishing themselves and positioning for this lucrative market.Traditionally, people used to associate debt consolidation with negative connotation. From time to time, the mental image one would connect someone who consolidates debt to a person who simply cannot afford to pay off their debts, ie are financially strapped. But times have changed. More and more are beginning to accept debt consolidation as a means to effectively reduce the overall interest payments, and a convenie
Don’t be fooled, as most are when under the swirling spell of sparks, to think you have a chance without “liking” the other person for who he/she “actually is”; as opposed to “is suppose to be”. Oh sure, maybe your contortionist partner isn’t quite who they are … yet. Maybe all they need is a little guidance here, a gentle push there and they’ll shape up to be who they are suppose to be; someone you can really like. Big, big mistake. Don’t think for a second that you’ll eventually drag his sorry atheist, golf-on-Sunday ass into the front pew for a little weekly Baptist shakedown. Don’t think for a moment that you’ll just cancel her subscription to M
1. Before your search even begins, you must have a project that you wish to fund. What is it that you want to accomplish? Any project you support must align with the needs of your beneficiaries. Grant providers want to clearly see the necessity of your program.2. Start by searching for grants online and library resources.3. Start the process early. It can take months, in some instances a year or more, before you receive any funds.4. Investigate local government agencies, educational and civic organizations, and businesses as possible sources of funding.5. Look for funding sources whose philosophy and focus are consistent with your project’s goals and objectives.6. Don’t limit yourself to a single funding source. Contact those funders who are the best matches based on your research.7. Speak personally with a contact person involved with the funding who can answer your questions and provide advice and guidance. Develop a relatio
It is “The Cranelegs Five Second / One Year Plan to Lasting Relationships”. It’s Cranelegs because it is my discovery and that is my nickname. Kind of catchy too. Anyway, the plan occurs in two distinct parts: 1) the first five seconds of introduction, and 2) first year of partnership. The first step is involuntary. The second is controlled by each partner. The steps must occur in sequence and be satisfactorily executed by both partners.
The easy step is the first five seconds of introduction. It is the setting of the “attraction switch”. It’s easy because there is nothing you have to do. It is impossible to control and it can occur anywhere: at a business meeting, at a gun show, in line at motor vehicle, in aisle six at the supermarket. The switch setting process is initiated when two people first meet by chance or otherwise. They make eye contact. Electrical charges are immediately exchanged through the optic nerve combined with possible scent pulses through the olfactory canals and/or touch data by the shaking of hands. The combined information packet does one of three things when it reaches the cranial attraction switch: 1) sets it to “on” if currently in the “off” position, 2) resets it to “on” with new information in the event it is already “on” from a prior unrelated encounter but in a “dormant” state, or 3) fails to either set or reset the switch. This wired send-and-receive response occurs in five seconds; longer in older specimens but rarely beyond twenty three seconds. The participants can be conscious of it or not. It doesn’t matter. It’s chemistry.
When the switch is set on, it initially is in a dormant state. It remains in this inert status until triggered by environmental changes that allow the person to be actively cognizant of it. In young, unmarried, unencumbered participants, it can move to the “active” state quite rapidly, sometimes within minutes or the time it takes to have a glass of wine.
For older, married-with-kids, highly cumbered types, the “on” switch may remain unknowingly in a dormant state until death. Unfortunately, many times it moves into the active phase prematurely, leading to a messy break-up with or divorce from the existing partner. In other cases, the person may reject the new partner as the result of the weighty guilt one acquires from “feeling” that tingly sensation every time the new partner enters the zip code.
Young or old, sometimes one person is activated and ready while the other is not; leading to pressure, petty jealousies and detrimental on-again-off-again encounters. Regrettably these circumstances are almost always certain to put the kybosh on carrying out a successful second step.
One last comment about this five second deal, well-intentioned people mistakenly believe the attraction switch can be set to “on” manually at some later date. The typical example occurs when someone has unwittingly moved into an active partnership with a switched “on” person even though their own attraction switch remains in the “off” position; or worse yet, remains in a dormant “on” position set by another person. Sometimes it is difficult to tell if the switch is not properly set. Typically the most noticeable indication is the lack of a spark. The old adage “you’ll know it when it happens” is about the best way to say it. You’ll just know. But people are capable of wishful thinking when adored and treated nicely. Maybe a best friend keeps telling you how lucky you are. Maybe your parents hammer you over the head about how your biological clock is running out of time. Maybe you are just plain lonely. Maybe the partner is loaded down with cash from an inheritance or lottery win. With such external pressures, it’s understandable why we might start to think, “hey, perhaps this person really is the right one for me.”
And what happens? The “commitment” switch is erroneously set to “on” while in denial about the absent ember of passion. Not good. You are possibly headed for either a lifelong, listless, loveless journey or more likely an agonizing renege-on-the-commitment break-up when you come to realize either the attraction switch has always been “off” or the person who really set the dormant attraction switch “on” becomes actively available for some unanticipated reason. Studies have concluded the length of time one will remain in such a futile committed relationship is directly related to which side of the couple’s age gap one is on, and your partner’s wealth compared to yours or that of the new interest.
To summarize step one: mutual attraction must be registered by reciprocally setting the attraction switch “on” within the first five seconds of introduction (longer for older subjects). It can not be manually set later.
As easy and carefree as the first step is, the second is the complete opposite of easy, actually it is the most ‘oppositest’ if such a word existed. Once the attraction switches are set, once the timing for both parties is right and once the passion is unleashed, each partner has one year to find out if he/she really ‘likes’ the other person. Being honest with one’s self during the one year partnering stage is no easy task. While in the mutual throes of warm summer afternoon picnic trysts or cold winter night crackling fireside embraces, it’s hard not to want to “like” someone; especially if they can swing from a trapeze with their legs wrapped behind their head or they are able to lick your earlobe from across the room or any other physical endeavor that might make your toes curl from erotic glee.
Don’t be fooled, as most are when under the swirling spell of sparks, to think you have a chance without “liking” the other person for who he/she “actually is”; as opposed to “is suppose to be”.

The AGA or Association of Government Accountants is often featured in Government World Magazine. One of the most debated subjects of course being the implementation of Sarbanes Oxley or SOX on government agencies, the association of government accountants is concerned that there is no way it is feasible. In fact most business executives complain that the government from the government printing office to the Department of Homeland Security, would have to be shut down if they were under the strict controls of SOX.So why did the government impose such impossible restrictions on American Corporations if they themselves could not comply with the insanity of such over regulation? Some believe that it is because the government regulatory agencies are weak, filled with folks who have never had to make a paycheck and are totally inept. While others think it was the morons in the legislature appeasing the mass media hysteria of wide spread corporate fraud, which never ex

Every time I watch television I see ads which depict the most wonderful places to shop. One particular ad depicts a home improvement superstore full of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff in every department. The ad goes on to explain how this staff is there to assist you in every facet of home improvement and repair. One day I needed a part for my kitchen faucet and a new cordless drill, so I set out for that store.Upon arrival the only person who acknowledged my presence during my first ten minutes in the store was the “greeter” who was trying to get me to fill out a credit card application. The staff who were standing in the plumbing aisle shuffled me to the next person who “knows more about this department.” After talking to three associates and spending fifteen more minutes searching, I finally bumped into the fabled “plumbing expert’ who would know just what part I needed. Unfortunately he was new and the “other guy” who “knows all this stuff” was not

If Realtors could have only one wish in this world, it might very well be that they would ask that buyers get pre-approved for loans before beginning a house hunt. Nothing is more frustrating – for real estate agents, home sellers, and people hoping to purchase a new home – than to get to the tail end of the long process and then get turned down because the loan is not approved. But there is a simple way to remedy this situation. Any potential borrower can get pre-qualified and then pre-approved, before ever venturing into the vast arena of real estate shopping, by simply meeting with our knowledgeable mortgage advisor and sharing some information.Here’s how it works:Simple Pre-Qualification ProcessThis is the first step in the loan application process, and can usually be accomplished in a matter of minutes. Some lenders can pre-qualify you over the phone or via email, as long as they have access to a few pieces of financial i

You made the ChoiceIncreasing your company's profitability revolves around the focal point of numbers and the ability to access those numbers quickly to implement a plan to reduce internal costs while increasing project profitability. Understanding where an employee's time is spent and realigning that time as necessary to match the project at hand is a major step toward greater profitability.Employee timesheets only go so far in providing the information you will need. Having an easy to access time management history allows your company to estimate with accuracy the man hours of a particular project, what that project will cost in labor and resources, the cost effectiveness of pricing as well as effectively quoting based on previous, similar projects. Viewing any one or all aspects of such time management numbers and how they correlate to one another gives a clear view to areas of time management improvement needs, which leads to greater profitability.h a word existed.

It ain’t never going to happen.
But do not fret. Opposites can survive as long as the respect their oppositeness. If you want to see a model odd pair who like each other for what they are, you don’t have to look any further than that wacky political couple, James Carville and Mary Matalin. Folks it can’t get any weirder than that. And they seem to be real content and happy.
To summarize step two, it’s not easy my friends. One year. That’s it. Gotta like ‘em for who they are. It’s not like an out-of-place vertebrae that some Chiropractor can adjust. If after three hundred and sixty five days you are still having difficulties saying you “like” the person, it just isn’t going to happen. It’s time to move on and do it as soon as you possibly can.
There you have it. It’s simply difficult and difficultly simple. And any of you who have been through a few failed relationships know this plan makes sense. You have five seconds and then a year. Try it the next time. You can thank me later.
